COMB.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARDEN C. PAGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combs of which the following is a specification. I

hiy invention relates to combs and its principal object is to provide a heat-ed comb which is to be used "for the purpose oat drying, straightening or dressing the hair.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hair dressing comb of this character wherein the handle is arranged at an angle and thereby tacilitatiirethe use of the comb and at the same time allowing the operators hand to be disposed at a maximum distance from the heated part of the device.

Another object of the invention is to provide a heated comb of this character which is formed with a solid metallic head adapt ed to be heated and a plurality of tines or comb teeth extending at an angle therefrom.

lVith the preceding and other objects and advantages in mind the invention consists in the novel combination of elements, construction and arrangement of parts and operatien hereinafter more fully referred to and claimed and illustrated in the accomaanying drawings wherein:

Figure l is an elevation of a. comb constructed in accordance with my invention;

Figure 2 is a view partly in longitudinal section and partly in elevation of the device: and

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein corresponding characters of re'l erence denote corresponding parts throughout the several views the numeral 5 desig n ates a wooden handle provided with a longitudinal bore 6 through which a rela tiv-ely long rod 7 extends, the latter extending av relatively great distance beyond the inner end of the handle and provided with screw ti'ireads 8.

Extending at right angles to the rod 7 is a solid cylindrical comb body 10 having a threaded opening intermediate its ends which is received on the threaded. end 8 oi the rod 7. A plurality of tines or teeth 12 are cast with the solid body 10 and extend at an angle therefrom as shown in Figure In connection with the body 10 and teeth 12 it is stated that these parts are 1" nod of any desirable metal having a. maximum heat retaining capacity.

r-L'tube- 13 is cast with the body 10 and extends'at right angle thereto and is receired on the bolt 7 with its inner end contacting with the adjacent end of the handle 5.

The lower end of the handle 5 is provided with a recess i l in which the head of a bolt 7 is countersunk and upon engaginc this head by means of a screw driver or the like the tube 13 will be drawn tightly against the handle 5.

in the use of my improved device the body 10 and teeth 12 are heated to the required degree and used in the manner of an ordinary comb, however, the arrange ment is such as to apply heat to the hair and yet the heated parts are disposed a. suiticient distance any from the operators hand to avoid discomfort.

lVhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention it should be understood that changes and arrangement of parts may be made and that I am only limited by the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, I claim: 7 I

A hair dressing and drying comb comprising a solid body formed from heat conducting mateal, teeth termed on one side thereof and extending at an angle thereto, a tube extending from the body arranged at right angles thereto, ahandie and a bolt passing longitudinally through the handle and tube and engaged with the body.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signa- ARDEN C. PAGE.
